Give your store a unique, memorable address that’s easy to share, builds your brand, and helps customers find you — all from your phone. This simple change helps you stand out, be remembered, and reach more buyers, empowering you to grow your business with confidence.
For Sellers
You now have the tools to make your store instantly recognizable and shareable:
Claim your own URL — pick a simple, memorable slug that reflects your business.
Professional appearance — a clean URL makes your store look trusted and established.
Social sharing made easy — link directly to your store in WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram.
SEO-friendly — help buyers find your products when they search online.
Control & privacy — only you can claim, edit, or remove your URL.
This small step gives your business a big boost in visibility and trust.
For Buyers
Custom URLs mean faster access to your favorite sellers:
Remember the store name, not a confusing string.
Share it with friends, family, or community groups easily.
Feel confident you’re visiting the official seller’s page, not a random link.
Shopping becomes simpler, safer, and more personal — especially for buyers across Malawi’s districts who rely on mobile phones and low-bandwidth connections.
How It Works
Go to your Store Settings → Edit Store Profile.
Type your desired URL in the “Custom Store URL” field.
Check availability — the system validates format and ensures it’s not already taken.
Click “Claim” — your custom URL is now live.
Share your URL — in messages, on social media, or in printed marketing.
Tips: Keep it short, simple, and unique. Consider adding your business name or location to help buyers find you faster.
Privacy & Security
Only authenticated sellers can claim URLs.
You control your slug — no one else can claim it.
Old UID-based URLs still work for backward compatibility.
No sensitive data is exposed; the system only maps your slug to your seller profile.
